I've been told to stop taking my 600mg gabapentin 3 days prior to my back surgery. Plus stop taking my .5mg xanex and 15mg mirtazapine 2 days prior to surgery. I'm curious as to why? He then asks me to try and only take 1/2 of my usual dose of 10-325 norco.I'm sure there is a good reason, just nit quite sure what it is. This is the longest weekend of my life.Thank you

cynthialcain; What you should do is when the doctor tells you this is to ask why? don't be afraid to ask questions. But I am going to guess because Gabapentin can cause thinner blood than normal to avoid and excess bleeding and the others would be for your safety when the Anastasia they don't want as many sedatives in you when they are going to put you out. And drug interactions your doctor does not know what the other doctor is going to use on you. Good luck, And don't worry.
